After limping off to a 1-3 start. North
Carolina has stretched its winning streak to
six straight games over the past couple of
weeks to move into first place in the summer
league baseball standings. The Running Tar
Heels won four consecutive games during
the break between summer school sessions to;
boost their record to 7-3, two games ahead of
second place Wilmington.
On June 19 Carolina downed Louisburg
5-4 in extra innings to put the Tar Heels over
.500 for the first time this season. The game
seesawed back and forth until second
baseman Mike Fox, the eighth- man in the
batting order, doubled in the bottom of the
10th inning to score Laird Williams from
ffrst base.

Duke Hale went the distance for the Tar
Heels in his first starting assignment of the
season, giving up eight hits and striking out
four.
On June 23 UNC jumped on Wilmington
starter Phil Lambert for three quick runs in
the first inning to roll to a convincing 6-2 win
over the Seahawks. The aggressive Tar Heels
took advantage of two extra base hits, a wild
pitch and, a sacrifice fly to put the game away
early.
Steve Rackley doubled down the leftfield
line to open the inning, took second on an
infield out and raced home on a wild pitch
for the first run of the game. Kevin Haeberle
followed with a walk and came home on a
triple by cleanup hitter Bernie Menapace,"
who scored on Early Jones sacrifice fly to
right.
Bob Thomson limited the Seahawks to
two hits through six innings to pick up his
second victory of the season. Wilmington
broke through for solo runs in the seventh
and eighth but the Tar Heels had already
insured the win with a three-run fifth inning.
Carolina committed seven errors against
Methodist June 24 but rallied for three runs
in the seventh inning to escape with a 10-7
victory as the visiting Monarchs were unable
to take advantage of the numerous fielding
miscues.
The high-flying Tar Heels whipped
Wilmington 5-0 Monday in the first game of
a crucial three-game series for their seventh
of the season. Hale shut out the
win

Summer league baseball action resumes tonight as the Tar Heels host
Wilmington at 7:30 in Boshamer Stadium.
Menapace: a demure freshman
sounds off in the batter's box
r1 2
by John Hopkins
Assistant Sports Editor
It was a windy spring day at N.C. State's
Doak Field as UNC jayvee baseballer Bernie
Menapace rounded third base and kept
coming. As he approached the pay station,
the State catcher was waiting with the ball.
When the dust cleared, the ball was rolling
toward the Wolflet dugout, the catcher was
flat on his back, and the umpire was
signaling safe.
The same Bernie Menapace this week sat
in the Boshamer Stadium press box looking
out at the other members of the UNC
summer baseball team, who were readying
themselves for an optional practice under a
hazy summer sky.
Menapace was soft-spoken, almost shy;
something that is commonly missing in
many successful athletes. When he speaks
about his endeavors on Boshamer turf, one
could easily get the impression that he is
almost embarrassed about his success in the
sport. '
He becomes a little more enthusiastic
when the conversation turns from his
individual accomplishments to his
contributions to the team.
After playing the jayvee season and the
first part of the summer loop as a catcher and
occasional designated hitter, Menapace has
been shifted to first base, a completely new
position to him. But he doesn't seem to
resent having to learn to play a new position.
"Yeah, I like it at first. Just as long as I'm
contributing to the team," he said. "If I were
out there doing a bad job, I wouldn't like it.
But I've only made two errors at first, and in
that same game I got two" hits and drove in
three runs. So I still feel I'm contributing."
Even though his current task is
contributing to the Tar Heel diamond corps,
the Sterling Park, Va. freshman is on this
campus via a football scholarship.
In his just-completed freshman year,
Menapace shared the jayvee quarterbacking
duties with John Elam in the fall, before
proceding to lead the jayvee baseballers in
batting this past spring.
"Yeah, it's tough playing two sports," said
the husky left-handed hitter without a hint
that he was complaining. "But I'm managing'
to keep my average over 2.0."
Whether it's tough or not, no one can
accuse Menapace of compromising his
baseball obligations. He is now in a battle
with Kevin Haeberle for the team lead with a
.352 batting average.
But Coach Mike Roberts is most pleased
"not so much that he's hitting for average,
but that he's getting the clutch hits.
"He's really come along a lot farther a lot
quicker than 1 expected," continued the
coach. "He's laying off the bad pitches like a
real disciplined hitter."
Not only can Menapace use the stick, but
Roberts calls him "one of our best base
runners; he's aggressive." And that is
important in the Tar Heels run and gun style
of play that has them averaging nearly 4 '$
stolen bases per game.
The running game is nothing new to the
dark-haired first baseman, since last spring's
jayvee charges were also coached by
Roberts.
However, the challenging coach had fo
wait a while to get his first look at Menapace,
since spring football practice prevented him
from joining the team until after the first
game of the season.
"In the second game I sat out until the
eighth inning. Then 1 pinch hit and got a
single," Menapace recalled. "I was catching
and DHing the rest of the season."
Now, even though he's first basing, the
mild mannered number 25 is still stroking
the ball as steadily as ever.
